If you have been following our story about the letter we received with the "7 day pay-it-forward" but pass...we received a follow up call today from the woman that was in a domestic shelter last week and through your donations we were able to provide uniforms for her to start her new job. When I met her to take her the uniforms, we never spoke about how she was going to get to her new job, I assumed since she didn't ask, she must have it taken care of. Well, today she called and asked if we happen to help with bus passes because she is no longer at the domestic shelter where she could walk to work and is now in a boarding house where she will need transportation. The beautiful thing is that our normal policy is to provide two 7 day passes which normally gets them to their first paycheck. However she is in need of three 7 day passes because she gets paid exactly 3 weeks from today. Coincidence? I don't think so! Having the "pay-it-forward" pass is going to allow this woman the comfort of not worrying about how she is going to get to work all the way up to her first paycheck, and we agreed that the first thing she would buy with her checks going forward would be her bus pass for the next week. That was already her plan, I just wanted to be sure.
"Thank you Lord for taking that bus pass provided by one person that is now back on their feet and providing it to another that is in the midst of the struggle to get back on her feet. Your timing was not only beautiful but perfect!"
If you would like to help with the remaining bus passes for this client, the cost will be $33.00 and you can make a donation of any amount and put "bus" in the comment and we will make sure your donation is used towards this cause. Visit our donations page at: Ruth's Heart Donations
